Hulu Plus members will receive a week’s worth of free credit as a result of the PlayStation Network’s on-going downtime, according to an email that’s currently doing the rounds in subscribers’ inboxes.
As reported by Kotaku, the North American-based company sent out the following message to select members this week:
“Dear XXXX,
Unfortunately, due to the outage on PlayStation® Network, Hulu Plus subscribers cannot currently access the application on the PS3™. We understand this is frustrating, and we are looking forward to Sony restoring access to the application as soon as possible.
In the meantime, we’d like to offer you a 1-week credit toward your Hulu Plus subscription. In order to automatically redeem your credit, please click here at any time within the next two weeks.
You can still continue to watch your favorite shows on many other devices — the full list of devices is available here. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact us directly. We’re happy to help however we can.
Many thanks,
The Hulu Team
Please note: No personal Hulu Plus account information was compromised as part of the Sony intrusion.”
PSN has been down since last Wednesday as a result of an “external intrusion,” with Sony later saying that it anticipates some services to be resumed within the next week or so.
